The production of Colonial cheeses is a tradition in the southern region of Brazil, representing cultural identity and income for many families. This study aimed to characterize Colonial cheeses and the production from a family-run agroindustry located in Cantagalo, Cantuquiriguaçu Territory, Paraná. Four types were analyzed: Traditional, Tempered, Smoked, and Wine-Infused. The cheeses were classified as medium-moisture (36.0% to 45.9%) with semi-hard textures. Regarding fat content, the Traditional and Tempered cheeses were classified as high-fat, while the Smoked and Wine-Infused cheeses were categorized as semi-fat. The water activity had an average value of 0.90, the average pH was 5.4, and the cheeses had different sensorial characteristics. Thus, the characterization of production and the Colonial cheeses provided a better understanding of their properties and differentiation from other cheese types.
